Profile match
Mercor is an American company founded in 2023 by three Thiel Fellows that recruits and pays domain experts to produce the training and evaluation data frontier artificial intelligence labs need. Its business shifted quickly from general talent matching to expert data work: as models became competent at ordinary tasks, the scarce input became judgement from practising doctors, lawyers, bankers and engineers, and Mercor sources, vets and pays those people at very large scale. Headquartered in San Francisco and valued in the billions within two years of founding, it pays out enormous sums annually to a contributor network rather than employing them.
